D3 Barbarian: one of the strongest classes in all of Grimarillion, and it comes with some of the most powerful equipment in the game. Barbarian was generously gifted with 4 powerful sets - each of them with more equipment slots than the set requirements; that way, you can mix and match the slots depending on your build’s needs and still complete the set bonuses. This build was designed around the Immortal King’s Set which focuses on Call of the Ancients This skill allows you to summon 3 Barbarian allies, each of them with a treasure trove of abilities that they cycle through. With the set generously granting hard cap to both skills, Call of the Ancients does massive damage with the pet’s internal skills.
As a generous bonus, we combine the Barbarian’s Call of the Vanquisher ability with Defender’s Colossus Form - sadly the size bonus doesn’t stack, but either form allows you to tower over your enemies. Colossus Form even grants you a huge movement speed bonus that allows you to zip across the stage with your giant size. Having an instant heal and great defensive stats make Defense class a great partner for the Barbarian, especially as you don’t have to allocate too many skill points to grab the important abilities.
The 2H bow and Targo’s Chestpiece allows you to convert up to 90% Elemental to Physical damage, maximizing your Call of the Ancient’s damage to pure Physical. Combine their heavy attacks with a double RR class and low natural enemy Physical Resistance, and this is one of the best-performing builds I own. Defensively, the amulet doesn’t just give +all skills in Barbarian, it provides little health globules that heal 5% when you come across them. You can easily summon 3+ in one battle just by spamming your Frenzy autoattack. I generally do SR65-66, but this build stomped through it so trivially that it’s easily a SR75+ contender.
